Joe handed Lois a pile of messages when she arrived into the office Friday morning.
So we are now two weeks past nightfall, to March 11, 1994?
It must have been stuck in back channels on Krypton,
Well, she is right it related to things that happened where Clark was before, she is just confused as to where he was before.
Lex had asked her about the cutbacks at the paper,
I am glad you added this in earlier. The lack of continuity between episodes is the biggest problem with Lois and Clark. Although it is not the only TV show to have this problem, and not the worst by TV standard either. I think the problem with Lois and Clark is that unlike say "I Love Lucy", the characters relationship develops in the show.
the dishonest billionaire.
she sees that Luthor is a crook.
She had noticed a man following her this morning. It could have been nothing,
Where there is smoke there's a fire.
Lois wanted to clobber Clark.
He really needs to tell her this whole thing from his view as soon as possible. I don't know she will quite agree with it. The only way she is going to understand him is if he tells her about the other dimension. Hmm, so does she think his parents real died, or does she think that story is a bunch of lies?
She recalled how he tried to convince her she wouldn’t be cheating on Superman with him. Ha! There was a minor understatement.
Lois:And if he had just said "Lois, I am Superman" everything would have been solved. But no, he had to keep his secret.
Ugh. She didn’t want to marry any man. It was such an archaic tradition, which only seemed to place a yoke on a woman.
Wow, she is really down on marriage, although I guess with her parents as an example it is not too surprising.
Then again, Clark could cook and, as Superman, he could accomplish the cleaning in five seconds. He also seemed to value her career.
So yes, she would consider marrying him.
Yet, would she want to marry a man who lied to her and hurt her on purpose just to save his own invulnerable skin?
But how did he hurt her to save his skin? It hurt him to break up with her too.
Clark:Hey, I got to kiss her, how can I complain?
In fact, she felt like kissing another man right in front of him, at this very moment.
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
For a moment I was afraid that Lois was planning to kiss Luthor.
must know that Lois loved Superman, or had back last summer. Terrific. Clark would not be happy to hear that, so she decided that she would keep that news item to herself.
He should suspect it, even if he has not yet.
Not that she was talking to the louse now anyway.
Her knwoing but him not knowing she knows is turning out worse than I expected. You know, I don't think it would have been this bad in canon. There she knew that he had a backstory as CK.
Was that why Lex had acquired Kryptonite? To rid himself of another of Lois Lane’s love interests?
Nah, he hates SM for deeper reasons.
Or had Lex become interested in her because… no, that was ridiculous.
Anymore ridiculous than a billonaire being a crime boss? Any more ridiculous than the arc?
Lex couldn’t have discovered she and Superman had been involved before then.
because he did not have surveilance equitments and spies everywhere? Of course he could have Lois.
Wouldn’t it have just been simpler, instead of leading her on as Superman and making up all these excuses on why they couldn’t be together, to explain to her why it would be better if she would only date his secret identity?
This is a real good question. I am not even sure Clark explaining the full truth will convince her.
He had certainly gone through many unnecessary hoops to make their relationship possible.
Unless his true self is Clark, and he feels that at a very deep level. Although I am only partly convinced of this.
Had he felt the connection too, but prior to that day?
Yes, that's why he came.
Had he stolen Clark Kent’s identity, just so he would have a reason to interact with her?
You know Lois should wonder more about why he decided to steal the identitiy of a child who had been dead for over 20 years. Would it not have made more sense to take the identity of someone who died in a crash, or at sea, recently? On the other hand, since Clark Kent died so young, there was really no identitity to steal. Lois should maybe wonder more about that.
not getting it because his portfolio was nonexistent being that he had just arrived on the planet,
Now see what he should have done was made short appearences in strategic other locations first to build a portfolio.
Clark:But it was so easy to get a job in my dimension.
A worthy reason in her opinion.
But if he had had a job she would have rejected him as an out-of-bounds co-worker.
He got the job without any experience,
Actually he had probably more experience than Lois. He really needs to tell her about the other dimension.
Alternatively, was it simply because it was the only way to rescue her from the bomb on the Prometheus?
I am pretty sure this second guess is the right one.
and someone started trying to blow Superman up.
Lois now knows this is almost certain to have been Luthor. She has enough to see Luthor is using her as a pawn, if she will just analize it.
She had confused matters, when she kissed Clark on Trask’s plane and announced that they were dating.
At least she recognizes that this confused Clark, even if not seeing fully why.
Clark had certainly believed her, gullible romantic fool that he was. Was that when he decided that ‘Clark’ might actually have a shot after all?
Actually it was more he did not realize that SM would attract so much admiration from Lois.
Lois thought back on that kiss with Clark on Trask’s plane, and how she had tried to pretend she was actually making out with Superman. Ironic, wasn’t it?
Yes it was.
In it, first Superman had floated them among the trees as he had made love to her.
I guess she is no longer draeaming of her past lives.
Then Clark hadn’t stopped her from seducing him the infamous Night of Passionate Pasta. Instead, he had… Lois closed her eyes and smiled as she remembered the feeling of Clark’s lips on her bare skin as he had pushed away her blouse.
So much for her staying mad at Clark.
Sadly, her alarm had gone off just after Clark had locked the Metro Club’s supply closet door and hiked up her dress, condoms be damned.
That would have made the story a lot shorter.
Could Superman read minds?
If he could he would know she knew he was CK, so I think she should assume no.
Clark glanced up and caught her grinning at him. He flushed. Could he read her thoughts?
No just her heart rate and expressions.
How had he described their lovemaking at the hospital?
they did disprove the power of the curse. Hmm, OK, that it probably only one reading of that line.
Oh, he was so going to regret the decision to keep his secret from her.
But he tried to tell her, multiple times.
She just noticed the new researcher, the one who replaced the woman whom Lois had pulled Ralph off in the conference room on Impact Day,
Wait, they have extremely high research turnover.
No! Lois groaned with every fiber of her being. Anyone but her.
I had no clue who this might be until I read through the comments. I noticed someone mentioned Linda King, and I think it might be her.
